A Muslim baby "boon"

I note with interest Dr. Pipes' mention of the increase in the Muslim worldwide population. I recall that in France after WW2 French families were paid a monthly stipend by the government based on how many chlldren they had. More children, more money. It is apparent that the Muslim states are doing the same, doling out their ample oil largesse based on how many babies.

Think then, every time we fill up our SUV or Humvee we may be creating one more suicide bomber. Those pundits that snicker and say our great civilization can never be defeated by suicide bombers may want to take note.
